CONOR McGregor does not want to fight in Las Vegas ever again, according to UFC president Dana White.

The UFC president was speaking on FOX Sports show The Herd on Wednesday night, where he revealed that the huge $150,000 fine imposed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission has prompted the Dubliner to fight back.

McGregor was fined $150,000 and handed 50 hours of community service for his part in an ugly bottle and can-throwing melee with Nate Diaz and his team at the UFC 202 pre-fight press conference at the David Copperfield Theatre at the MGM Grand back in August.

Diaz hasn't received his punishment for the incident, but is expected to receive a similarly hefty fine.
